1 When a man H376 hath taken H3947 a wife, H802 and married H1166 her, and it come to pass that she find H4672 no favour H2580 in his eyes, H5869 because he hath found H4672 some H1697 uncleanness H6172 in her: then let him write H3789 her a bill H5612 of divorcement, H3748 and give H5414 it in her hand, H3027 and send H7971 her out of his house. H1004
They say G3004 unto him, G846 Why G5101 did Moses G3475 then G3767 command G1781 to give G1325 a writing G975 of divorcement, G647 and G2532 to put G630 her G846 away? G630 He saith G3004 unto them, G846 G3754 Moses G3475 because of G4314 the hardness G4641 of your G5216 hearts G4641 suffered G2010 you G5213 to put away G630 your G5216 wives: G1135 but G1161 from G575 the beginning G746 it was G1096 not G3756 so. G3779 And G1161 I say G3004 unto you, G5213 G3754 Whosoever G3739 G302 shall put away G630 his G846 wife, G1135 except G1508 it be for G1909 fornication, G4202 and G2532 shall marry G1060 another, G243 committeth adultery: G3429 and G2532 whoso marrieth G1060 her which G3588 is put away G630 doth commit adultery. G3429
If any man H376 take H3947 a wife, H802 and go in H935 unto her, and hate H8130 her,
And they shall amerce H6064 him in an hundred H3967 shekels of silver, H3701 and give H5414 them unto the father H1 of the damsel, H5291 because he hath brought up H3318 an evil H7451 name H8034 upon a virgin H1330 of Israel: H3478 and she shall be his wife; H802 he may H3201 not put her away H7971 all his days. H3117
And I saw, H7200 when for all the causes H182 whereby backsliding H4878 Israel H3478 committed adultery H5003 I had put her away, H7971 and given H5414 her a bill H5612 of divorce; H3748 yet her treacherous H898 sister H269 Judah H3063 feared H3372 not, but went H3212 and played the harlot H2181 also.
If he take H3947 him another H312 wife; her food, H7607 her raiment, H3682 and her duty of marriage, H5772 shall he not diminish. H1639
And if the latter H314 husband H376 hate H8130 her, and write H3789 her a bill H5612 of divorcement, H3748 and giveth H5414 it in her hand, H3027 and sendeth H7971 her out of his house; H1004 or if the latter H314 husband H376 die, H4191 which took H3947 her to be his wife; H802
Thus saith H559 the LORD, H3068 Where is the bill H5612 of your mother's H517 divorcement, H3748 whom I have put away? H7971 or which of my creditors H5383 is it to whom I have sold H4376 you? Behold, for your iniquities H5771 have ye sold H4376 yourselves, and for your transgressions H6588 is your mother H517 put away. H7971
G1161 It hath been said, G4483 G3754 Whosoever G3739 G302 shall put away G630 his G846 wife, G1135 let him give G1325 her G846 a writing of divorcement: G647 But G1161 I G1473 say G3004 unto you, G5213 That G3754 whosoever G3739 G302 shall put away G630 his G846 wife, G1135 saving G3924 for the cause G3056 of fornication, G4202 causeth G4160 her G846 to commit adultery: G3429 and G2532 whosoever G3739 G1437 shall marry G1060 her that is divorced G630 committeth adultery. G3429
Whosoever G3956 putteth away G630 his G846 wife, G1135 and G2532 marrieth G1060 another, G2087 committeth adultery: G3431 and G2532 whosoever G3956 marrieth G1060 her that is put away G630 from G575 her husband G435 committeth adultery. G3431
If a man H376 have two H8147 wives, H802 one H259 beloved, H157 and another H259 hated, H8130 and they have born H3205 him children, H1121 both the beloved H157 and the hated; H8130 and if the firstborn H1060 son H1121 be hers that was hated: H8146
For the LORD, H3068 the God H430 of Israel, H3478 saith H559 that he hateth H8130 putting away: H7971 for one covereth H3680 violence H2555 with his garment, H3830 saith H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts: H6635 therefore take heed H8104 to your spirit, H7307 that ye deal not treacherously. H898
Then G1161 Joseph G2501 her G846 husband, G435 being G5607 a just G1342 man, and G2532 not G3361 willing G2309 to make G3856 her G846 a publick example, G3856 was minded G1014 to put G630 her G846 away G630 privily. G2977
And G1161 they said, G2036 Moses G3475 suffered G2010 to write G1125 a bill G975 of divorcement, G647 and G2532 to put her away. G630 And G2532 Jesus G2424 answered G611 and said G2036 unto them, G846 For G4314 the hardness G4641 of your G5216 heart G4641 he wrote G1125 you G5213 this G5026 precept. G1785 But G1161 from G575 the beginning G746 of the creation G2937 God G2316 made G4160 them G846 male G730 and G2532 female. G2338 For this cause G1752 G5127 shall G2641 a man G444 leave G2641 his G846 father G3962 and G2532 mother, G3384 and G2532 cleave G4347 to G4314 his G846 wife; G1135 And G2532 they twain G1417 shall be G2071 one G1519 G3391 flesh: G4561 so then G5620 they are G1526 no more G3765 twain, G1417 but G235 one G3391 flesh. G4561 What G3739 therefore G3767 God G2316 hath joined together, G4801 let G5563 not G3361 man G444 put asunder. G5563 And G2532 in G1722 the house G3614 his G846 disciples G3101 asked G1905 him G846 again G3825 of G4012 the same G846 matter. And G2532 he saith G3004 unto them, G846 Whosoever G3739 G1437 shall put away G630 his G846 wife, G1135 and G2532 marry G1060 another, G243 committeth adultery G3429 against G1909 her. G846 And G2532 if G1437 a woman G1135 shall put away G630 her G846 husband, G435 and G2532 be married G1060 to another, G243 she committeth adultery. G3429
But G1161 and G2532 if G1437 she depart, G5563 let her remain G3306 unmarried, G22 or G2228 be reconciled G2644 to her husband: G435 and G2532 let G863 not G3361 the husband G435 put away G863 his wife. G1135 But G1161 to the rest G3062 speak G3004 I, G1473 not G3756 the Lord: G2962 If any G1536 brother G80 hath G2192 a wife G1135 that believeth not, G571 and G2532 she G846 be pleased G4909 to dwell G3611 with G3326 him, G846 let him G863 not G3361 put G863 her G846 away.

Commentary on Deuteronomy 24 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 24
In this chapter we have,
Deu 24:1-4
This is that permission which the Pharisees erroneously referred to as a precept, Mt. 19:7, Moses commanded to give a writing of divorcement. It was not so; our Saviour told them that he only suffered it because of the hardness of their hearts, lest, if they had not had liberty to divorce their wives, they should have ruled them with rigour, and it may be, have been the death of them. It is probable that divorces were in use before (they are taken for granted, Lev. 21:14), and Moses thought it needful here to give some rules concerning them.
